Hi,

My company doesn't issue ref letter with Canadian address. The letter head contains India address. But I can get it printed within the body of the letter along with other contents (like salary, Job description etc). Will this work? Please help me in drafting a letter which also mentions the Canadian office address along with other details.

Thanks!

If that's all you can get, go for it. Submit it along with a small letter explaining exactly what you've said in your post.

I would say go for it. Make sure that you take a hard copy of letter from the company. Also attach the letter of your assignment stating that you are current on an assignment into canada.

Best of Luck.

Okay, I'm going to give you some accurate advice.


CIC is about working for a Canadian company. It doesn't matter what the structure is, but what does matter is that they have a presence in Canada with Canadian employees. How you are paid doesn't always matter, e.g. Intra-company transferees can be paid by either Canada or the country of the original office, but what matters is they are working on behalf of the Canadian branch and being managed by the Canadian staff.

If your ref. letter has an address outside of Canada on it, then it will suggest to the VO that it's being written by someone out with Canada - and this is a problem. The letter must be written by personnel within Canada. If you don't have this, it will be a problem.

As others have said if it's the best you can get then you can go for it, but don't be surprised if CIC request another letter or even refuse your application. It really depends on how the letter is written and the officer reviewing it.

Personally I'd work harder to get the letter you need before submitting this one.

Indian address is fine as long as it correctly describes the information.
I had my reference letter issued from india as well.

To be more detailed :

I got reference letter from my manager In India and in the Indian office letter head.
CIC has accepted it. I have already got PPR.

Make sure your reference letter is detailed and provide enough information.
